c/trauma·Posted by u/sophie_lang·4mo ago

What does a trauma trigger actually feel like? People don't understand when I try to explain.

I don't need the dramatic version of my story to be true. The ordinary version already rearranged me. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. I can be kind to other people in this and cruel to myself in the same hour. I figured if anyone would get it, it would be people here. I don't need a perfect answer. Even a small thing that made the next day easier would help.
